- Description:
- Gordon County, 1903. Snow scene showing a picket fence on the Peters Farm. About 1830 Richard Peters of Atlanta purchased some 4000 acres in what was to become in 1850 Gordon County. He came to Atlanta from Pennsylvania. He was a civil engineer who achieved prominence in Atlanta. During the Civil War the farm buildings were not destroyed and Union troops were housed there. The home was built after the war. It is located in the area where today East Belmont Drive and Peters Street meet. Over the years a number of members of the Peters family has owned and managed the farm. In 1950 Burton J. Bell purchased the home and some 160 acres.
